After a few videos (Teaser 1, Teaser 2, Teaser 3) from Mazda teasing its all-new Mazda 6, the Hiroshima-based company has released the first official image of its next D-segment contender, which will make its debut at the Moscow Motor Show next month.
As the photos show, the car will of course wear the new Mazda face, and it looks good. Looks familiar because we already have the CX-5 SUV, but this is a sleeker rendition.
Get used to it, as this new Kodo face will be repeated across the range, replacing the organic and flowing Nagare look as seen on today’s Mazda 3 and 5. All of us here prefer the new direction. You?
The new 6, which is based on the Takeri concept, will be the first model equipped with Mazda’s brake energy regeneration system, i-ELOOP. The debutant at the Moscow Motor Show will be a Russian specification sedan equipped with a direct-injection SkyActiv-G 2.0 petrol engine and six-speed SkyActiv–Drive automatic transmission.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
From Nagare to Kodo then Takeri and also Skyactive?
Mazda sure knows how to use words to entice.
Thx god Mazda is the only one that the best looking Japanese car ! T,H pls wake up and see ur date design compared with Korean,European and USA !
Agreed, if both T and H continues being complacent, they will definitely be hit hard by sheer competition of not only Mazda but even Korean rivals!
great looks!
Nice, looks not much japanese.
The front looks like a hybrid of the new CLS-class and the F30 3er.And that’s a good thing.
Awesome design!
OMG so niceeeeeeeee!!!But Mazda 6 so expensive…wait for Mazda 3 as well hehe!
Mazda 6 expensive? How so? Do you mean paper specs-wise?
All right,no offense.Seem like for you this is not expensive or even a piece of cake.But for me it is expensive,I didn’t say it not deserved for that price but that one is just my thinking.
Blame the tax. Blame the tax.
Plz wait 4 years. You will be given 25k rebate.
Why 4 years for 25k rebate?
Kawaii! i’d take this over any korean crap.
Unfortunately, the rear lights resembles the Sonata lol.
I’d take only this over other jap crap (pointing to toyoda and honda)
Need to bash like this?
Seriously cool design, with a hint of Mercedes CLS front grille.
Hey good looking!!
somehow the grill looks like preve
Enough with the preve in almost every new car posts laaaa.
Yaya,Preve all the way,all car manufacters always took Proton’s design and this whole car is rebadged Preve,ok?
stop mentioning about the fucking Preve,this even nicer then my K5
I have not looked at the side profile yet but it seems too soon for a full new revamp (compare that to Toyota who are still using engines from the last century). I said this cuz the current Mazda 3 is basically an aggresive refresh of the previous generation. Same with the Golf MK6.
The back like look like tiger eye, the front light look like cock eye, bla, bla, bla, like there is no better thing to say.
this preve that preve…you think designning a car is that simple, why don’t you do it? oh wait…maybe nobody even wants to hire you cos all you can do is mention preve all day long!
I don’t hate preve but your comment was kinda…dumb?
nice sarcasm. i like xD
probably PeeOne is paying RM2 for every sentence with the word “prayve” to certain cyber troopers
Nope. Not gonna spell the correct name here.
rear kinda looked like Sonata?
sonata + kizashi
agreed…
Because Junk Sonata is copying Mazda Takeri Concept in the first place, understand !!
Any evidence? To show SONATA copy this MAzda 6?
you are wrong, idiot, should be every single piece car design is taking our very well loved Toyota as reference
Totally agree. In fact, CX5 also have similar feel of Tucson, especially on the tail side.
exterior: nice, softer strokes :)
We know who copy who… Takeri concept was released before sonata came in…
awesome design! only can touch ‘u’ at showroom only…my ‘nett pay’ still do ‘us’ apart
hahaha… nevermind bro, your proton still do you good.
Drooling !!
Hoho… i loike red
wow, awesome!!!!
Wahhh! Very nice!
This is definitely nicer. The CX-5 face reminds me of the pigs from the Angry Birds game.
Nice.
The 6 has always been the more dynamic and the pretty one in the sea of dull executive sedans.
This is certainly a good thing that shows even the conservative Japanese can rise above and realise that there normal sedan buyers deserve something more interesting.
Looks to me save Toyota, Honda and VW’s (Passat) everyone is jumping head first into good looking offering across the range with Peugeot, Citroen, and the Koreans being a lot more avant-garde in their styling.
Fierce looking. It definitely looks sleek, but the current generation is not really a bad looker either. I think i like both.
p/s: I think we will not be seeing anymore Mazda3 smiley icon in the future eh? kinda miss it…..lol…..
nice behind. everything looks nice to me except the smiley grille at the front.
Nice! Just wonder where to put the front plate number heheh
front looks awesome …but the rear part really looks 80% like the YF sonata!
Nice looking car, never doubt with the Mazda design, hope this car is not pair with the 19″ wheel :)
Beautiful car from the only Japanese manufacturer left who cares about style and engineering
Finally a Japanese company had a great design to come out for the D segment category cars. I expect nothing less from Mazda. Thumbs up and keep up the good work Mazda.
AGGGHHH! It looks like they’ve done this for a dare. The creator of Timon will be looking for compensation. What is it with Madza and putting stupid faces on their cars?
marbeles
this one will make Camry & Accord look a jerk…
HAHA. Cars can look like a jerk? -.-
i thought it looks like sonata
simply awesome, muscular and hunky
bbb but but this one is old woman car oo… aso car.
beautiful!! very nice smooth flowing lines. mazda is on a design roll lately. kudos to the team.
Ahhh…looks like Mazda is the ONLY Japs manufacturer left that still remembers how to style a car… Toyota, Nissan and Honda…sigh… :( !@#$%^
Looks really good from these pics. Hopefully the 2L Skyactive engine is further uptuned for the Mazda 6. The unit used in the current CX5 feels underpowered even though it offers 155hp and DI and super high compression ratios.
The tailight designs looks like Elantra ah my friends… not the Sonata.. hehe :D Ohhh the Japs are copying the Koreans these days…
Ok Hyundai Junk Bro, fire away! LOL
rumored to come with a base 2.5L skyactiv-g as the base model, while the 2.2 skyactiv-d twin turbo diesel as the range topper.
IMO, Nissan makes reliable cars.
Unfortunately, Nissan employed idiots as designers and the Management actually approved these ugly designs for production. Gosh.
Talking about N coz their cars looks the worst among M,T,H & N.
Any car makers, if the cars looks beautiful and priced decently and with decent quality materials, no need too many fancy tech, I am sure the model will still sell well in MY.
I will go for the 2.2 skyactiv-d twin turbo diesel if they are bring in this specs.. When are we Euro4 or Euro5?
Best looking Japanese sedan!!! Really like the aggressive front. IMO, looks more balanced than the CX5. Will they release a new RX-8 based on this?
Who cares about the Rx8. We want a new rx7 preferably with a rotary turbo.
Show Toyota how to do up a nice sports car.
WAKE UP T & H, ini baru so call “design”. Yours just “ALTER” then put NEW MODEL!!!
far better looking than camry, accord, Taena
Takeri concept look batter
comparing this to the fugly camry is like comparing miss world to Frankenstein.
Is it just me or is that cool looking Xenon headlights resemble that reactor core from Iron Man’s chest? NICE!
I prefer the dugong (toyota vios) look. that’s why it sells so well.
Now you get your feed(my attention): attention seeking behaviour.
front nose like lancer… rear like sonata…sushi eating kimchi now..
great..not differs much from the concept car…now for the interior shot..
If its inferior is anything similar to CX-5, its gonna be disappointingly bland in comparison with the how the exterior looks
interior i meant…
another weak point with Mazda is the NVH… that’s the reason why i didnt buy the previous gen. Hopefully there is stark improvement on this area this time round.
Honda, Toyota..
Please have a look on Mazda!
Then look back your own design, u will know the ‘different’
toyota:” i know, i rather save on my design fees and yet I still sold a lot what!”
Honda:” Can’t you see my New Civic design? looks a lot like our hot selling City what!?”
Compare this with the nothing new camry? Shut up and take my money!
Nice face and back. Like the way the front bonnet is flanked by the strong shoulders. Any details on when this is going to be on sale in Malaysia? Any other spec details?
Seriously I like the exterior design but the brand a little bit “cold”!
Really kodo-k like front view…
i can only admire this car from afar..
Pocket not deep enough..pity me
cant wait for new mazda 3
this one is nice. cx-5 is not.
Rear looks 99% like sonata…
Awesome design! Honda and Toyota should learn from them on how to design nice looking cars.
This we call design for future car. What happened to Toyota & Honda designer? All dead on radioactive?
The headlights look like autobot eyes
it really looks good:)
last time was the RX7
now was the MAZDA 6
Why do we want to compary this with Camry? Is Camry a great car? The moment we see a Camry owner, we know that he or she is rich/brave/has taste, ya?
BTW, Mazda 6 is the best looking D segment car at this moment, not only among Jap makes.
hands down, this is easily one of the sexiest mid-size sedans around…let’s see how the interior looks like… =D
I’m not hoping too much for the interior. Mazda’s interior design is one of form follows function. Purposefully practical. Even the Rx8 had a fairly normal looking interior…beside the 2 tone color.
Probably in between the accord’s button fest and the Teanna’s over simplistic and clean layout (read : boring).
Four door sports sedan..
i-eloop …wit ur daughter ..blame the car hahahaha
looks good
i’d test drive one just for the heck ov’it….
Mazda’s certainly on the right track when it comes to design. I personally feel that this Mazda6 looks even better than their Takeri concept car…. anddddd I’m so happy the smiley faces design is over.
Looks better than Sonata. Awesome design.
Looks awesome..
Looks awesome! This will destroy the already rubbish korean cars! Goodbye sonata and k5!
the front muscle-body-like resembles the toyota mark x and the rear looks like elantra but mazda redefines how a car should look like..not a moving washing machine!
Camry,Accord and teana must dig their own grave if this launch in malaysia sure will get impact for those 3 rival.
This pawns Akord and Camli one handed.
The truly NEW model from Japan. Only two driver car from Japan, Subaru or Mazda, the rest Accountant’s Car.
We should support Mazda. Bermaz, please emulated VGM business model.
One of the few Jap makes besides Lexus, Infiniti and Acura that can still grab our attention. But the rule of thumb always shows that car with a wow factor looks usually doesn’t age well. I hope I’m wrong.
Good point but I do believe Mazda cars today with wow factor and still age very well. Just look at the present Mazda 6. Heck if you compare the present Mazda 6 with the ‘new’ Camry and the Sonata, Mazda 6 looks like a newest model to me.
Have to agree with you on this . The current mazda 6 2.5l white colour is the best looker. Anytime beats the latest Camry, Teana, Accord and Passat B7.
I have been waiting about a year to buy large Jap saloon, new Camry came, and I thought no way. Teana too narrow inside, also re-sale not good. But this Mazda rocks. Have to wait 6 more months for new Accord then decide la.
BRAVO MAZDA. To those who bought the new CAMRY, pls don’t feel proud about yourself driving a new car indeed you’re driving and old technology car wit a new face in it.
New face ?
Thanks to Mazda designers and visionaries, not all hope is lost on Japanese car makers!
Agreed!! The CAMRY design look so cheap, it seems that they don’t pay enough for the designer to design. When i look at the back of the new CAMRY it feels like the body chasis taken from the 2001 camry body.They both look the same accept for the new tail light.
Awesome!! Cant wait to see the interior design. The cx-5 interior looks so classy and not plastic cheap, and hope this Mazda6 will inherit that.
This is potential car of the year in USA for sure. Camry, Accord you have challenger now!
my goodness so pretty… must get one…
i love the concealed B Pillar
Wow.. this is beautiful and surprisingly, very close to the Takeri concept car. Now, if PKR takes over, we will all be able to get this car at RM120k or less next year!
… just waiting anxiously to see the side profile. If 80% of Takeri concept makes it into the final Mazda6 production design, it wipes the floor with current gen Accord, Camry and even Sonata.
Mazda 6 i am falling in love with you but i have to work harder in order to rape u once u arrive in this so called BN boleh land. Wish me luck & thanks.
my family owned 3 mazdas. Mazda 3 2004 model, mazda 6 2010 model and mazda CX9. to own another mazda, i still doubt it. the mazda 3 starts to develop problem after 3 yrs. first with the wheel, bring it over to SC, they said it just need to be aligned. done that, problem came back after few weeks, bring it over again, still the same, bla bla bla.. then came the engine noise problem, check check check they cannot find the problem. the mazda 6, recently it’s is having gearbox problem, now waiting for replacement. so we are hoping our cx9 wont be developing any problem soon. i like all mazda design but after experiencing all these problem, i have my doubt.. no offence, just sharing info.
Hopefully Mazda could do something great on the 2.5L skyactive engine, turbo would be better…CX-5 2.0 engine is underpowered.
Existing Mazda 6 engine noise too much intrudes into cabin.
Just tested ford mondeo 2.0 240ps, it surprise me with the 2.0 turbo engine.. and the build is great..
Rear looks exactly like a sonaata…bahhh
While the front grille looks nice,the headlamps resembled the F30 BMW 3series. Kudos Masuda!
Evidence of Hyundai design superiority, even japs want a piece of it…
Previously the latest Lexus copied the back of Sonata. Now the latest Mazda follows their footsteps to copy the back of Sonata. What’s with Sonata’s back design that everyone is copying now? Kia getting similiar Audi design I can understand due to their ex-designers but Sonata’s back design?!
Next time don’t produce concept car
This is a real car.
I drive Toyota (Ipsum) but I hate Toyota current design. Vios, Altis, Avanza (new), Camry (new)..BUT maintenance very CHEAP & reliabality VERY good. Mazda have the best design & handling.
I still think my infiniti looks nicer..
I love driving my 2010 Mazda6. Awesome n surely a head turner where ever i go.
Must start saving for this.
this make new civic look much more worse even the new camry look dated now. why T n H drifted so far in design dept?
the rear tail looks similla lika my current Hyundai Elantra 2008
Front view, going back to the 1980’s single headlights design?
damn…..tats “bi xenon” headlamp
my vios is better looking than this
Vios driver here too. You must be blind.
waiting for so long after takeri concept, finally the new gen mazda 6 is in production, great job mazda produce more sporty car than the rest competitors. From here you are the road teaser, kill all cars on the road…. Mazda you are the best! Hope the new Mazda 3 will have something new and different compare with previous.
please dont compare this to your korean ass,mazda did this since their legendary RX7 FD.do some homework korean faggot.
great looking car but 2.0will it be a bit under power?
Lets see hows the price…
i wonder if proton can also design such a nice looking car like Mazda….
